If we will automatically shun others because of anything, then can we truly say we are followers of the one who didn't do that, Jesus? He said several THINGS were wrong, but the Bible seems to say he did not reject PEOPLE who were actually doing those things. The Apostles even tell their churches that some of them were those kinds of people.

When Jesus spoke of loving our "enemies", is there anyone here who thinks he was only speaking of "enemies" the way we use that word today? Or, when He spoke of our "neighbors", was He only speaking of the people we live next door to? To both questions, I say He meant the rest of humanity.

This is but a tiny exerpt from a book that speaks directly to this subject, Everybody, Always by: Bob Goff.

"Jesus told His friends if they wanted to be like Him, they needed to love their neighbors and they needed to love difficult people. This sounds so familiar that I’m tempted to just agree with Jesus and move on, but Jesus doesn’t want us merely to agree with Him. In fact, I can’t think of a single time He gathered His friends around Him and said, “Guys, I just want you to agree with Me.” He wants us to do what He said, and He said He wants us to love everybody, always."

"Jesus said to love our enemies. I thought I’d get off easy because I don’t have any real “enemies.” I mean, I’m not mad at North Korea or Russia or China. And I don’t think they’re mad at me. After all, I wrote a book and put balloons on the cover. Who could be mad at that guy? I think Jesus meant something different when He said “enemies.” He meant we should love the people we don’t understand. The ones we disagree with. The ones who are flat wrong about more than a couple of things. I have plenty of those people in my life, and my bet is you do too."

"In fact, I might be one of those people sometimes."

Yes Ghoti2. I think the real intolerance is when we think the best of ourselves and our opinions and the worst of others. It is not just that we disagree with people, but that we have to make them bad, or evil for holding a different position.
To love them means we treat them as we would like to be treated. We can have opponents but they don't have to be an enemy.

Who cares if you are intolerant or racist. Why? Because both of those words are made up terms to shut people up from having the "wrong opinions". It's good to be intolerant of bad things like homosexuality. That doesn't mean you hate homosexuals. Tolerance is a false virtue that only serves to break down people's relationship with God. I am against race mixing because it destroys God's creation, not because I hate other races, no in fact race mixing and it's cousin "diversity" seek to destroy the true and wonderful diversity of the human species by blending everyone together, destroying every unique race and culture.

Be wary of anyone who tries to label you any of these terms. They are evil or at the very least extremely brainwashed and ignorant.

I think I am reading someone who would find himself in deep confusion about his own mixed ethnicity. (And about the fact that if he ever procreates, he will be deliberately perpetuating it.) LOL o_O

See, he is a nice guy, he asked God to bless me. Good things like that happen when you give someone the benefit of the doubt.

Just because I think you're an annoying glib idiot doesn't mean you are not worthy of Gods blessings. Again, I do not care about your benefit of the doubt regarding my original statement, which I 100% meant.

It's refreshing that your definition of "tolerance" is the real definition. Unfortunately, it's not the one that the PC or L++ communities use.

Theirs is typically, "You will be forced to embrace and actively support my position, while I do all within my power to make your position marginalized, isolated, and outlawed."

Hey Dino, we may agree on something!:)

I dislike some on the so called progressive left and their intolerance too. The no platforming at Universities and in the public sphere is very worrying. We live in troubled times where tolerance can used intolerantly.
